The current trunk (2.3) documentation at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/stopping.html states:
"As with a graceful restart, a syntax check is run before the restart is
attempted. If your configuration file has errors in it, the restart will not be
attempted, and you will receive notification of the syntax error(s)."
As far as I can see, support in apachectl for running a configtest before a
restart was removed in r95307 ('simplified apachectl...'):
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/support/apachectl.in?r1=94653&r2=95307
Is there any good reason for apachectl to not test the config before
restarting? Anyone used to the 1.3 behaviour could be very seriously affected
by this regression - not least the contradictory documentation.
